IF they would give a new IP the same attention as BOTW, Mario Odyssey, Smash Bros and some other big ones, then fair enough. But we both know they wont do that, so whats the point of asking for it? They will give those franchises most of their resources and we`ll get a few smaller games here and there. Even Splatoon was pretty small when it came out. A short campaign and a few maps. It expanded over time because it became a success. I don't know. I do like some of their smaller stuff like NES Remix on the WiiU and 3DS, but this gen has been awful when it comes to new IPs imo. While their current IPs have gotten really great entries. Maybe Im being a bit pessimistic, but I really like the way they are doing stuff now. Backing games that would otherwise not be made. Like Bayonetta 2 and 3, Deadly Premonition 2, MUA3 etc. |
Splatoon was "small" as a game but it's marketing was massive, this is something that a lot of people overlooked until the game became a big success. I also remember Splatoon getting new content pretty quickly after it's release which, like, isn't a sign that the developers thought the game might not be big, quite the oppsoite. If anything that's a sign that the devs expected the game might be big, and decided to rollout content they had already developed to try and maintain a presence.
I don't even think we really disagree tbh. It sounds like you're saying you wouldn't mind Nintendo making more third party titles that normally wouldn't be funded, which I'm not against, and I'm happy with what Nintendo is accomplishing with third parties right now as well. I just don't think that really enters into the discussion of, should the Mario team take a crack at a new IP, or should the Mario Kart team try a new IP after Arms.
